Chromatic Constellation

A vibrant and energetic abstract composition where colour, movement, and gesture converge in a dynamic visual dialogue, executed in oil onto canvas.

The surface is alive with bold, biomorphic forms and spontaneous splashes that seem to hover and collide within an expansive field of pale cerulean blue. Large organic shapes in saturated green, deep ultramarine, mustard yellow, and inky black anchor the composition, while vivid red splatters and fine white linear streaks cut across the canvas like bursts of energy or fleeting trajectories.

At the heart of the painting, a luminous circular yellow form radiates warmth and presence, acting as both focal point and counterbalance to the surrounding asymmetrical shapes. The artist masterfully juxtaposes areas of dense opacity with translucent washes, creating depth and rhythm. Smaller droplets of silver-grey and scattered pigment add a sense of cosmic randomness, enhancing the impression of movement and spontaneity.

The brushwork ranges from smooth, deliberate blocks of colour to expressive drips, splashes, and flicked paint which are hallmarks of Abstract Expressionist technique. Thick, gestural strokes coexist with fluid pours and delicate splatters, revealing the artist’s physical engagement with the canvas. The layering of pigment creates subtle textures and visual tension, inviting the viewer to explore the painting’s surface and uncover new relationships between form and colour.

Overall, the painting evokes a sense of joyful immediacy and intuitive creation. It is an orchestration of colour and gesture that feels both spontaneous and deeply intentional.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary champagne frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.
